Overall Thoughts:

I find myself thinking about the what could have been of this album, especially after listening to the track 6 on Zara Laron's fifth studio album 'Eurosummer'. That track really reminded me that a modern contemporary had also done a whole album that is Europop. Which brings us to the messy and genuinely problematic 'Problematique' from lead single underperformance, label troubles, leaked songs, vault status and eventual surprise release.

Mindy Gledhill - Anchor
95

Overall Thoughts:

I'm writing the day after Valentines Day, since I'm in a lovey-dovey mood. Let's throw it all back to 16 years ago, to an album I consider indie pop bible. 'Anchor' the third project from Ex-Mormon Mindy Gledhill. Who's talent for songwriting is greatly unappreciated. Well unless you live in Asia where her songs are bigger than her name but still a staple. This body of work managed to pull on your heart strings, dance, and fulfill the fantasy ... read more

Madison Beer - locket
84

Overall Thoughts:

This album feels like diet 'Eternal Sunshine' both are concpect hearbreak albums, with different pop soundscapes, with misleading lead singles, and talented writer and vocalist spearheading it. Where things differ one is the artists Magnum opus and the other one is the wekeast project to date in a their catalouge.

That’s where Madison Beer's third project 'Locket' comes in, which manages to be a regression for Beer's artistry.

Reneé Rapp - BITE ME
77

Reneé Rapp's sophomore album 'Bite Me' certainly bit but most of the time spent barking. Coming of a big year with 'Mean Girls (2024)' and her unfiltered, flirty personality shinning in interviews, I could have sworn she would be the next big thing. But she still has time to be look at her co-star on her Broadway's Mean Girls: Sabrina Carpenter, she took some years to fully come into her pop bag and that could happen to Rapp as well.

With that being said, ... read more

Ryan Woods - King of the Basement
82

Track by Track Review:

1. THE FRIEND SPACE (80-100) - The opener to this EP about being a homebody when it comes to love. 'The Friend Space' is a catchy pop track the chorus entirely caries it. The verses are kinda eh. Which Woods' has improved in his lyrical abilities but they are weak here. The production is nice and he has solid melodies but that's about it. Not good nor bad just run of the mill.

2. Bad Texter (85-100) - A stronger song it's a great single. ... read more
